Spicy and flavorful Kerala style beef dry roast recipe

Beef varattiyathu / beef dry roast is a traditional recipe of Kerala cuisine. It is a spicy and flavorful side dish serve with plain rice, ghee rice, idiyappam or appam. This recipe tastes more delicious when it is slow-cooked. Compared to normal beef roast recipes what makes this beef dry roast so special is we fry the cooked beef with shallots, chopped coconuts, curry leaves and green chillies in low flame around 20 minutes. Chopped coconut is an important ingredient in this recipe. It gives a crunchy taste to beef varattiyathu. In this recipe first I cooked the beef with all spices and then fried with shallots mix which helps to get more flavour to the beef. Tomatoes are not required in this recipe but if you want at last you can add some chopped tomatoes. I have already tried some delicious beef recipes. Hope you all will like these recipes.
